Cala Bassa
San Antonio, Ibiza, 07820
One of Ibiza’s most popular beaches, this beautiful piece of white sand and crystal sea is full of amenities and accessible for all types of beachgoers. Cala Bassa is about 15 minutes from San Antonio and easily accessible by road or ferry. Home to the buzzing Cala Bassa Beach Club, it’s a spot where all your watersport dreams can come true.
The basics
There are activities for all ages on lively Cala Bassa. Adventure tours include snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, riding personal watercraft, and more. There’s a roped-off area for swimming, keeping a safe area from boats whizzing by. There are plenty of restaurants, in addition to the beach club, so you won’t go hungry or thirsty. A particularly special time of day is sunset, so plenty of tours will maximize the beautiful light of the sun going down over the ocean.
Things to know before you go
Pack sunscreen and sun hats to protect you from the Spanish rays, plus towels, changes of clothes, and all things beachy. Get a few friends together to charter a boat for the day, letting you explore different beaches, snorkel, and explore neighboring caves. This isn’t a hidden beach, but a popular one with loads of activity, water sports, and the occasional DJ.
How to get there
From San Antonio, you can take buses, drive, or a ferry. It’s only about 15 minutes by road and easy to locate.
When to get there
It will be busy during peak seasons, so you’ll want to arrive early in the morning to claim your territory on the beach. Set up camp and make a day of it. Spring and fall are the best times to visit Ibiza because the temperatures are moderate, but the party season goes from May to October. If you want that vibe, even on the beach, go then.
What is the best nightlife in San Antonio?
Clubs like Pacha and Ibiza Rocks light up San Antonio’s nightlife scene. After a day at the beach and a little rest, put your dancing shoes on and head back into San Antonio. After staying up all night partying, you might just need a lazy day back at the beach until it’s time to do it again the next night.
